England cruised to retaining the Arnold Clark Cup with a dominant 6-1 victory over Belgium in Bristol featuring a double from Chloe Kelly.
Winger Kelly 's early tap-in and captain Leah Williamson 's header, after good work from Lucy Bronze, gave the Lionesses a comfortable half-time lead and put one hand on the trophy. A rare error from the usually reliable Belgium goalkeeper Nicky Evrard then presented Kelly with a gift to make it 3-0 just after the break, before defender Julie Biesmans turned the ball into her own net after a dangerous cross from Georgia Stanway.
Bronze then added a fifth late-on from close range, before Belgium got themselves on the scoresheet thanks to a stunning strike from Elena Dhont, catching Mary Earps cold. Williamson though ensured England had the final say, with a composed finish from the edge of the penalty area.
